Strong for a wee man. Not afraid of a tackle. Overall solid and not spectacular. Distribution good. Touch finders from pens ok, though Burns' were a step up. Not afraid of having a go either. Only mistake I remember was a kick straight out.

Went off for Burns then came back on when Burns went off. Ended up getting cleaned off the ball and went off again.

What a load of ballicks there was nowhere near that number

I can confirm that not only were 11,254 supporters at Kingspan tonight, but that it was the biggest crowd for a pre season friendly ever in the history of Ulster, and also in fact rugby in general.

Thought Lowry had more potential for Ulster Rugby than Carbery's would have had. Not the finished article yet but seemed to have the determination with the basics in a big step up in terms of the game.
Disappointed by Staduim Commentators lack of information on substitutions. There were so many new faces that even the regular supporters needed help in identifying the players.
With no TVs feed on big screen surely they could have at least put a text message on the screen saying who replaced whom.
Also find claim of 11k attendance totally false.

Lowry has only played about 3 games in the last year. Was like watching a younger PJ.

Only Lowry has a much better running game than Jackson ever had.

On last nights performance and the Ospreys game at the end of last season, Tom O'Toole should be the starting TH, I thought offered more than both Kane and Moore....

Agreed. If he can scrummage consistently he will be hard to replace as he is excellent in the loose.

Logan's policy is still in place. All of this guff will continue until a new CEO takes over.
In the greater scheme of things it's something that wouldn't be an issue if the rest wasn't such a clusterballix.
